Only so much you can learn in one place

Madonna will release a new song in November - a 7-minute ditty monolithically called "History." She doesn't have a history (see what I did there Paul?) of releasing brilliant b-sides, so who knows how this will be? Geekfans are, of course, declaring the song a masterpiece before it has even been heard. The whole "Jump" shebang comes out on October 17 and here is the tracklist:

I wonder if "Jump" is maybe a little late for the single treatment after it was playing the background of "The Devil Wears Prada" commercials a couple of months ago. Maybe it will be strike those who didn't buy the album as familiar and not just because of the "West End Girls" vibe.
